This patch tries to diminish plague of DMAR read errors present
in CI for ADL*, RPL*, DG2 platforms, see for example [1] (grep DMAR).
CI is usually tolerant for these errors, so the scale of the problem
is not really visible.
To show it I have counted lines containing DMAR read errors in dmesgs
produced by CI for all three versions of the patch, but in contrast to v2
I have grepped only for lines containing "PTE Read access".
Below stats for kernel w/o patchset vs patched one.
v1: 210 vs 0
v2: 201 vs 0
v3: 214 vs 0
Apparently the patchset fixes all common PTE read errors.
Changelog:
v2:
- modified commit message (I hope the diagnosis is correct),
- added bug checks to ensure scratch is initialized on gen3 platforms.
CI produces strange stacktrace for it suggesting scratch[0] is NULL,
to be removed after resolving the issue with gen3 platforms.
v3:
- removed bug checks, replaced with gen check.
v4:
- change code for scratch page insertion to support all platforms,
- add info in commit message there could be more similar issues
v5:
- changed to patchset adding nop_clear_range related code,
- re-insert scratch PTEs on resume
v6:
- use scratch_range
